The third annual Panera Bread Spook-a-thon will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 26 at Dodd Stadium, 14 Stott Ave., Norwich.

The event, which will benefit the Connecticut Sports Foundation of Old Saybrook, will feature a pre-Halloween party called “Dress Up to Scare Cancer.” Panera Bread will provide bagels, pastries and coffee during the morning check-in from 10 to 11 a.m. The event will also include live bands, a haunted locker room, batty cages, hay rides, a bouncy house, cookie decorating, trick-or-treating and a pie-eating and costume contest. Hot dogs and hamburgers will be available at lunchtime for a nominal donation to Connecticut Sports Foundation. Tickets are $5 at the door.
